Chapter 359: None of us will be Harmed

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao exchanged glances and gritted their teeth. “Great, that’s fantastic. Immediately inform Magistrate Hu and Grand Commander Xu to secretly confiscate the silver from the Yang and Peng families. Once this batch of silver is confiscated, Yand and Peng will undoubtedly meet their demise.

Qinghe County is so poor, yet they managed to accumulate over ten thousand taels of silver in each household. Heh, they are really wealthy.”

Lu Jiao didn’t really care about the silver since the three workshops would earn that amount soon if they operate normally. However, for someone who had been poor, over ten thousand taels of silver was indeed a significant amount, especially in poverty-stricken Qinghe County.

So they had caught two big corrupted officials. If Magistrate Hu reported this to the court, it would be considered a great achievement.

Lu Jiao nodded in agreement, but she whispered, “This operation must be conducted quietly. First, confiscate the silver, then arrest Yang and Peng. Then finally, force them to reveal the Second Born’s whereabouts.”

At this point, finding the Second Born’s location was only possible through this method.

Xie Yunjin was about to have someone inform Officer Zhao when Lu Gui rushed in from outside. He was holding a letter in his hand.

“Sister, brother-in-law, a neighbor’s child delivered a letter.”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao’s expressions changed abruptly. Xie Yunjin quickly reached out and took the letter from Lu Gui’s hand, opening it to read.

Lu Jiao leaned in beside him and read the letter together with him.

The letter stated that tonight, at the first quarter of the night, Xie Yunjin should go alone to Black Wind Mountain. He must not bring any subordinates with him. If Xie Yunjin did not go up the mountain at that time, he should be prepared to collect his son’s corpse. On the contrary, if Xie Yunjin went up the mountain alone, they would release his son.

Xie Yunjin looked at the letter in his hand and thought about his son, who had been in the hands of the villains for three days. He didn’t know how frightened he must be by now. His heart was filled with anxiety and urgency, and he wished he could rush up Black Wind Mountain in exchange for the Second Born immediately.

He knew that the people behind this wanted him to go up the mountain alone because they intended to kill him. Their target was him.

Xie Yunjin thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Jiao, “You shouldn’t come tonight. Stay at home and wait for news.”

There were likely many people around Black Wind Mountain, and Xie Yunjin didn’t want Lu Jiao to take the risk with him. That’s why he said that.

But Lu Jiao firmly shook her head with determination. “No, I’ll go up the mountain with you. They won’t mind having me there.”

Those people might be watching their subordinates closely because Ruan Zhu had previously killed more than ten people from their side. But they wouldn’t pay much attention to Lu Jiao, considering she was a defenseless woman.

However, Xie Yunjin disagreed. With determined eyes, he looked at Lu Jiao and said, “Lu Jiao, I must prepare for the worst. If something happens to me tonight, you can take care of our four children. But if something happens to you too, what will happen to them?”

Upon hearing Xie Yunjin’s words, Lu Jiao felt an uncontrollable discomfort in her heart. She looked at Xie Yunjin with determined eyes and said, “We will carefully plan the operation to ensure that no one is left behind.”

Considering everything that had happened recently, Lu Jiao had made up her mind. Tonight, no matter what, she must ensure Xie Yunjin’s safety.

She had already conducted an experiment before. As long as she found a way to make Xie Yunjin unconscious, she could bring him into the space. However, this was limited to people who had a connection with her. Someone like Feng Zhi couldn’t be brought into the space even if she knocked her unconscious. But Xie Yunjin and their four children could be brought into the space once he was unconscious.

Because she could bring Xie Yunjin into the space, Lu Jiao wasn’t overly worried. If the situation turned unfavorable, she would make Xie Yunjin unconscious and bring him into the space, preventing those people from capturing them. (f)reenovelkiss.com

However, the prerequisite for all of this is to successfully rescue the Second Born. Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin quickly and said, “We will be fine, none of us will be harmed.”

Xie Yunjin insisted, “Lu Jiao, I will arrange everything. Don’t think negatively. The three little ones at home need someone to comfort them, so you should stay home and accompany them. I will definitely succeed in rescuing the

Second Born and bring him back.”

In essence, he didn’t want Lu Jiao to accompany him to Black Wind Mountain.

Lu Jiao squinted her eyes and looked at Xie Yunjin, who had a determined gaze.

She knew that he didn’t want her to come along in order to protect her. However, if she didn’t go, Xie Yunjin might be in danger. On the other hand, if she accompanied him, there would be a chance to save his life in the end. Considering this, Lu Jiao slowly agreed and said, “Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”

After she finished speaking, she smiled and added, “You must come back safely. The First Born and the others are waiting for you and the Second Born at home.”

Xie Yunjin nodded quickly, feeling a mix of bitterness and sweetness in his heart. He really wanted to ask Lu Jiao if she could stay with them if he and the Second Born returned safely, and not leave them. But considering the high possibility of not returning, he didn’t say those words.

“Don’t worry, we will come back safely.” 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝑚

After saying that, Xie Yunjin didn’t look at Lu Jiao anymore. He turned his head and looked at Ruan Kai, Ruan Zhu, Li Nantian, Zhou Shaogong, and the others in the room.

“Black Wind Mountain is about a hundred miles away from here…”

Xie Yunjin had just started speaking when his vision blacked out, and he fell to the side. Inside the room, Ruan Kai and the others exclaimed, “Young Master!”

Lu Jiao quickly reached out and caught him. She looked up at the people in the room and said in a deep voice, “Follow my orders from now on.”

“We need to set off immediately to ensure that we reach Black Wind Mountain before the first quarter of the night. Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu, you are in charge of rescuing the Second Young Master. Depart immediately and head towards Black Wind Mountain. Remember to find a way to enter the mountain from the back without leaving any traces. Once we have contact with the other party, keep a close eye on them to confirm if they have the Second Born and Han Nanfeng. If they do, do whatever it takes to save the two children.

If they don’t, stay put and we will find a way to make the other party bring the children out. You must save them as soon as possible.”

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she looked at Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu and said, “This is a test for both of you.’

Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu nodded calmly. They understood the implications of Lu Jiao’s words. If they successfully completed this mission, they would become trusted confidants of the masters. If they failed, they would be marginalized.

Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu nodded solemnly and said, “We understand and will immediately head to Black Wind Mountain.”

Lu Jiao nodded, and Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu turned and left. Lu Jiao then looked at Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong and said, “The two of you will accompany us to Black Wind Mountain. Once we reach the foot of the mountain, we will first confirm if they have the Second Born and Han Nanfeng. If they do, the two of us will switch places.

You need to find a way to quietly climb the mountain and ensure our safety at all costs.”

If Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong couldn’t protect them, Lu Jiao decided that in the critical moment, she would knock out Xie Yunjin and bring him into her space. Although this might expose something about herself, Lu Jiao couldn’t worry about that at the moment..
